Test when you have symptoms

If you feel sick, arrange for a test or use a home test to help identify if you have COVID-19.

Know the symptoms

Cough, shortness of breath, chills, diminished sense of taste or smell, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, headache, muscle/joint aches, nausea, runny nose and sore throat can all be symptoms of COVID-19.

Report positive home test results

If you tested positive for COVID-19 on an at-home test, please call the YKHC Contact Tracing team at 907-543-6420 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to report your positive result.
